Sunshine. Glaring Sunshine. Sunshine that was so bright I had to squint my eyes and it still felt like the Pamplona running of the bulls was rushing into my cornea, lens, retina, etc. via that star. It was devastating sunshine, enough to make your skin melt and I enjoyed it's uncanny feeling on my person. The grass was sweet smelling, not yet tinged with the acrid smell that is associated with the first cut.
I sunk my foot into the red shell, the outside pattern crosshatched and decorated with a logo to which I can't recollect. I kicked the ever living fuck out of that ball, or at least I thought I did. I don't remember if it was a single, or a double, or a triple, or a homerun, but I do remember having a shit ton of fun. This is one of my earliest memories.
Kickball.
Somewhere in the middle of third grade I had made an acquaintance whose name I can't recant but that's not important, nor was the color of his skin, black. He punched me in the face for some unknown reason, a reason to this day I can't remember, and he caused me to cry like a little school girl. I didn't cry because I was hurt, I cried because this was a sensation, a feeling, an emotion that I had not yet encountered in my young years. I thought we were friends. I wore my boots the next day.
My boots were your average brown leather boots with black rubber high top backing, the laces machined brown and tan, woven into a perfect pattern. The bottom of the sole had tread that resembled tic-tac-toe 'X's' alternatively going from an ex to a positive sign, or at least that's how I saw it when I stomped on that boy's face after I got him to the ground. The imprint was indelible in my mind, but not so much on his face. Blood coursed out of his nose and filled in the neat little imprint I just made on his face.
Kickface.
They changed their shape, slowly evolving when I was young, starting out as slim creatures built for speed and then later getting larger for maneuverability, eventually settling in the shape we see today: double nosed. I had bright blue tape around mine that was course to the touch and made sure that I didn't slip. The wheels were wrapped around a set of ABEC-3's--it's a rating system (you either know or don't)--and I wasn't the fastest because I didn't want to be.
I was aiming for something different. I wanted to do something that I hadn't been able to accomplish before, however, I did it this time. I stomped down on the back of my creature with my right foot shooting it's nose up in the air around my waste and simultaneously, with my left foot, using the tip of my shoe to push down on it's body. I wasn't going fast, but I did it!
Kickflip.
I was highly athletic. I could run my first mile in five minutes, forty-five seconds and run the second consecutive mile, with no break in six minutes, twenty-seven seconds. For most people this is quite a feat, for me it was part of my every day practice routine. Stamina was the name of the game and I always liked to be the best at what I was doing. If I couldn't be the best 'center middie' then I didn't want to play that position.
If I couldn't outrun everyone on the team, then I didn't want to play for that team, and I wouldn't until I made sure I was. Practice, dedication, and much much more, to name just a few. It was only my third year playing but I had excelled because of my work ethic and militant obsession to be the best. It was the first half and I had already scored one goal from outside the penalty box and one from a sensational feed where I had to slide tackle the ball from an unexpecting goalie. Now during the second half a ball was flying my way about shoulder height and it was time to shine. I jumped in the air, flung my shoulders toward the ground and torque my body in such a way that I was able to connect with the ball.
Bicycle kick.
I've worn all these kicks with patience and have yet to accomplish the most important one yet. I'm wrinkled, saturated yellow, the kind of yellow that only age can bring. I'm nearly doubled over at the back every time I've tried to walk in the last year. I haven't tried to walk in at least three months. I've been in bed, pissing myself, shitting myself, rotting, almost vegetative and I can't help it.
The nurse comes in and offers me some spirit in the form of reassuring words, sponge baths, but I can see it in her eyes that she is burdened by me. She doesn't really care what happens to me, just like my kids, but she is just doing her job and that she genuinely cares for. To her, I'm just another part of the rigmarole. That's okay, really. One beep every second and a half turns into one beep every 2 seconds and that turns into one every 3 seconds, so on and so forth until the beeps stop leaving a long single tone.
Bucket kick.

You think anyone that spends time on THIS website could raise even $4?

I have $15 in my wallet and $5 on the table next to me for a car wash.
I only read late at night, before I head off to bed though, so I don't necessarily spend time here.
Although, it's not as if I'd give you a fucking penny to save your life, you degenerate asshat. Go back to reviewing like you used to. Long time ago.

Poor shlongy, he's getting senile and can't tell when no one is talking to him. Anyone want to start a collection for his medicine?

Well, now that you mention it, let me start compiling the list of problems this posts features.
I'll get back to you by 5.

Well that solves it then, Apollo, you've found your niche. You can come by my posts and critique them every time since that's the only thing you are good at. Recant was supposed to be recall. Is there anything else wrong with this post, professor?

this READS like sicosemen. He gets words out of context because he looks them up in 'my first thesaurus'
-----------
No, kid, wrong again. I try to emulate you but I come up short every time. I thought I had bought the whole kit but all I got was a dummy. I'm human, I make mistakes and if I had a thesaurus I wouldn't make those mistakes. My usage of recant was wrong. I know it, you know it. You guys are just my legionnaires that love to hate me, this I understand.
God forbid someone makes a mistake around here. DOUBLE GOD, YOSEMITE, CHRIST IF SICOSEMEN MAKES A MISTAKE.
Get off my dick, while you're at it.
every post is the same.
it's the curse of the stupid. When one strives to appear intelligent one simply highlights one's stupidity.
It's best to stick in your actual zone of ability.

Recant means "take back" not "remember."
